Effect of high intensity interval training on patients with cancer: a Meta-analysis / 中国实用护理杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective:To evaluate the effect of high intensity interval training on cancer patients.Methods:Web of Science, EBSCO, PubMed, Ovid, EMbase, Cochrane Library, CBM, CNKI and Wanfang database were searched for randomized controlled trials of the effect of high intensity interval training on cancer patients, RevMan5.3 software was used for analysis.Results:Eleven articles with a population of 614 were included in the analysis, which involved 323 cases of the intervention group and 291 cases of the control group. The analysis showed that high intensity interval training could improve the total quality of life ( SMD values were 0.40, 95% CI 0.14-0.65, P<0.01) and peak oxygen uptake ( MD values were 3.00, 95% CI 2.19-3.80, P<0.01) of cancer patients, and reduce carotid intima-media thickness ( MD values were -0.06, 95% CI-0.08--0.03, P<0.01), but did not reduce the high-sensitivity C-reactive protein ( MD values were -0.61, 95% CI-1.23-0.01, P>0.05) and body weight ( MD values were 0.16, 95% CI-3.19-3.51, P>0.05). Conclusions:High intensity interval training has a positive impact on quality of life, cardiopulmonary function and carotid intima-media thickness with cancer patients, but has no significant effects on high-sensitivity C-reactive protein and body weight.
